Beethoven's first Opera, "Fidelio," initially faced challenges during its premieres in 1805 and 1806 due to a combination of factors, including an unfocused libretto and a lack of strong dramatic cohesion. The opera's themes of freedom and justice resonated with audiences, but the music and staging did not fully engage them at first. Additionally, competition from other popular operas of the time overshadowed its debut. It wasn't until later revisions and performances that "Fidelio" gained the acclaim it deserved.
